232 Dr. Smith's Observations respecting 



latterTournefort places next to Pilosella, in his genus Dens Leonis, 

 as above mentioned. 



4. Pilosella major erecta altera. Bauh. Pin. 262. This author 

 quotes the synonym of Tabernaemontanus, P. major prima, and 

 P. major latifolia of Cerarde. Now the figure of the latter is 

 the very same wooden cut as the P. major altera of Tabernse- 

 m on tan us, Ic. 197, which latter I therefore presume Bauhin 

 meant to quote, instead of the prima, and that this error of his 

 misled Tournefort, as noticed above. This P. major altera may 

 be Hieracium Auricula, or jlorentinum, or cymosum, but most as- 

 suredly not my dubium. 



5. Pilosella repens minor, caule (erecto) pedali, polyanthes, foliis 

 cngustis oblongis. Paii. App. (Hist. PI. v. 3), 147. The descrip- 

 tion of this author is not very precise as to our purpose, and per- 

 haps agrees rather better with H. dubium than with Auricula, but 

 nothing conclusive can be gathered from it. 



6. Pilosella. Till, Ic. 14. On this figure a learned botanist of 

 my acquaintance has chiefly rested his opinion of the plant now 

 under consideration being H. dubium, which the said figure is 

 thought most to resemble. I was staggered by this, as the work 

 of Tillands might be supposed good authority for a Swedish 

 plant, and to represent the most common species there of the 

 two, not so rare an one as my dubium is said to be. But I per- 

 ceive with no less surprise than satisfaction that this very figure 

 is a servile copy of the Pilosella major prima of Tabernaemon- 

 tanus, and therefore in itself of no authority at all. Indeed 

 Linnaeus has omitted to refer to it in the subsequent edition of 

 his Flora. 



To these synonyms a remark is subjoined in both editions of 

 the Fl. Suec. as follows.
